Resumo: Fresh sugarcane juice is sold by street vendors without any heat treatment in São Carlos, São Paulo, Brazil. Twenty-four samples of point-of-sale juice were tested by standard methods to determine heterotrophic bacteria, total and thermo-tolerant coliform counts, Salmonella, and parasites in the juice. 25% of samples showed poor sanitary conditions, with thermo-tolerant coliform levels higher than allowed by Brazilian standards. Salmonella spp. and parasites were absent in all samples. Thermo-tolerant coliforms were detected on the hands of 37% of juice handlers, and heterotrophic bacterial counts reached 2.0 x 10³ cfu/per hand. Escherichia coli was detected in one hand sample, and no Salmonella spp. was detected. Screening questionnaires were used to interview the vendors, and 62% of interviewees were either unfamiliar with or failed to adopt adequate hygiene for food handling.

Vinte e quatro amostras da bebida obtidas em condição de consumidor nos pontos de venda foram avaliadas utilizando-se métodos convencionais na determinação de bactérias heterótrofas, contagens de coliformes totais e termo-tolerantes, Salmonella spp. e parasitas. Observou-se que 25% das amostras apresentaram condições sanitárias insatisfatórias, com níveis de coliformes termo-tolerantes superiores aos permitidos pelos padrões brasileiros. Salmonella spp. e parasitas não foram detectados em nenhuma amostra. Em 37% das mãos de manipuladores do produto detectou-se coliformes termo-tolerantes e as contagens de organismos heterótrofos atingiu valores de 2,0x103UFC/por mão. Em uma amostra de mão detectou-se a presença de Escherichia coli e ausência de Salmonella spp. Utilizaram-se entrevistas por meio de questionários com os vendedores e 62% destes não admitiram conhecimento ou adoção de quaisquer práticas higiênico-sanitárias para manipulação de alimentos.Reports in Public HealthCadernos de Saúde Pública2006-05-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersiontext/htmlapplication/pdfhttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/3026Reports in Public Health; Vol. 22 No. 5 (2006): MayCadernos de Saúde Pública; v. 22 n. 5 (2006): Maio1678-44640102-311Xreponame:Cadernos de Saúde Públicainstname:Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)instacron:FIOCRUZenghttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/3026/6104https://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/3026/6105Oliveira, Aline Cristine GarciaSeixas, Antonio Sergio SpanoSousa, Cristina PaivaSouza, Clovis Wesley Oliveirainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2024-03-06T15:27:22Zoai:ojs.teste-cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br:article/3026Revistahttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csphttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/oaicadernos@ensp.fiocruz.br||cadernos@ensp.fiocruz.br1678-44640102-311Xopendoar:2024-03-06T13:03:31.471339Cadernos de Saúde Pública - Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)true
